There are always opportunities for people to teach English in foreign countries. Even for those who can’t speak the language of the country in question, the demand is still high. For most of the developing world, knowing English, particularly to a high standard, is perhaps one of the most valuable skill they can have. It greatly increases employment opportunities. Knowing that you are performing a public service is something which attracts many people to teaching English in foreign countries, but there are lots of other reasons why doing this could be a good thing for you. Being able to function in a different country can help your future business opportunities, while earning some money, and having the opportunity to learn another language, and education skills can be something which will help you in other situations in your life. Usually, accepting a job like this would require a commitment on your behalf that you will stay for a couple of years. For that period of time, you would be helping thousands of individuals to learn a valuable skill.
